Privacy Policy

This privacy policy outlines how we handle your information when you visit misbah.co (hereinafter referred to as "the website").

Information We Collect

This site uses a few analytics and infrastructure services. None of them are used to build an advertising profile of you, and none of the data is ever sold.

Umami, a privacy-focused analytics tool. It records aggregated, anonymized visits and does not collect personally identifiable information.
Google Analytics 4, used to understand traffic sources and which writing people actually read. Google sets cookies and processes this data on its own infrastructure, under Google's privacy policy.
Microsoft Clarity, used to see how pages are used and where they are confusing.
Cloudflare, which serves and protects the site and may set cookies for security and performance purposes.

Between them, the information collected includes:

The pages you visit on this site
The duration of your visit
The referring website (if any)
Your operating system, device and browser type
Your approximate location, derived from your IP address rather than precise geolocation

To be accurate rather than reassuring: Google Analytics and Cloudflare do set cookies, and Google Analytics involves sharing your visit data with Google as a processor. If you would rather avoid this entirely, a browser-level content blocker or the Global Privacy Control signal will stop these scripts from loading.

The Contact Form

If you send a message through the contact form, the name, email address, and message you type are emailed directly to me. Along with them I receive the approximate location Cloudflare derives from your IP address (typically city and country), your IP address itself, your timezone, and your network provider.

That context is there for two reasons: to tell a real enquiry apart from automated spam, and to know roughly what timezone you are in before replying. It is not stored in a database, not used for profiling or advertising, and not shared with anyone. It lives only in the email that lands in my inbox. The form is also protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that you are not a bot.

How We Use Information

Solely to understand traffic patterns and improve the site's content and experience: which pages are popular, how people navigate, and where something is not working. It is not used for advertising, retargeting, or profiling, and no automated decisions are made about you.

Data Storage and Sharing

No personal data about visitors is stored on this site's own infrastructure. Analytics data is processed and stored by the providers named above, each according to their own privacy policy.

Beyond those providers acting as processors, information collected is never shared, sold, rented, or otherwise disclosed to third parties.

Your Consent

By using our website, you consent to our privacy policy.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information on our privacy practices.
